To the left, another copy of a UK Test pressing with a slightly different stamp on the label. To the right a copy that was sold on Ebay in November 2009, housed in a well worn proof cover ("sleeve without credits" according to seller), stapled along two edges and ring wear. Third label show a copy sold on Ebay in February 2011 by a Singapore seller. Fourth a copy sold by UK seller in April 2011 with a proof cover.

Yet another copy of a UK Test pressing that is completely white. This is actually a fake white label, the seller have bleached the label on a stock copy! Second picture shows detail of same completely white label and here shows scratches in the run off groove, signs of the bleaching process
